I'm 16 and my parents raised me on those ethics. I work my ass off at anything I do, and I stick to it, and if I make a mistake I live up to it.
This summer, I worked at the local fairgrounds doing maintenance work for 8 weeks. I worked with another summer student, who was two years older than me. You could tell his parents raised him on either different ethics or no ethics. He pretty much did jack all, and what he did do was horrible and sloppy and I had to try and fix everything he did, such as painting. But, I was told, I am about 99% guarranteed a job next summer, he will not be welcome back. I see this so much in everyone my age, and it honestly bothers me so much the way things are going with my fellow youth. They all expect instant gratifaction, with no work, they expect everything handed to them, while they sit on their asses and watch netflix. Don't get me wrong, watch netflix, play video games, etc but GET THE WORK DONE
End rant
Well said young man. And I do mean man. I am a long hair old man. not an old hippy just my statement of freedom like my hog was for nearly 40 years. Young men like you give this old man a glimmer of hope. Best wishes in life what ever you choose to do. mcw
